From 2 Thessalonians 3:
..we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will go on doing the things that we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ…Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right.
From Katherine Galloway, The Pattern of Our Days:
Lord,
You know our deepest desires,
And we know the vision of your kingdom—
We bring before you those elements in our lives
in need of your transforming power:
that which we misuse or neglect,
that which we most reluctantly let go of,
that which we believe is not good enough.
Inspire us and disturb us to examine our deepest desires.
Prepare us for they way, O Lord.
YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE.
Lord,
You know our potential
But what is your purpose for our lives?
In our uncertainty
And in the knowledge of your faithfulness,
Prepare us for your way, O Lord.
YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE.
Now may the God of peace give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be
with all of you. (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
